A new look at an old unhealthy observation Hello my friends!! If the following blog seems familiar, it is because it is one I posted a couple of years ago. I forgot about it and, since this was a lean month for my brain and new ideas, I decided to share it with you again. I hope you enjoy it anew- I was recently reminded of a quote from Forrest Gump, “stupid is as stupid does.”  With all due respect to Forrest, I find the quote well, stupid.  I’m not sure I understand it at all.  But since Forrest was supposed to be a man with a low IQ but a very kind heart and a lot of common ..read more

A weirdly dark night of one MS soul Happy President’s Day my friends! Have you taken a moment to picture your favorite commander in chief and then silently thank him for giving you a long weekend? I hope it was a great long weekend! And I hope that you also enjoyed that earlier February holiday. No, no, no- not Valentine’s Day. The OTHER February Holiday-1/2 off chocolate hearts day on 2/15! Now, for my latest blog- Technically, I know that the phrase “dark night of the soul” refers to a question of faith, when one is at a low point, filled with confusion, dread, weakness, and sorrow. It is ..read more

Happy 2024!! Hope all of you are having an awesome start to the New Year! I have been well, but busy so far in 2024.

A Little Lesson in Portuguese

When new medical news reminds you of your childhood On 1/1/23 I had three resolutions. First, I wanted to get a new book published. Done. (Shameless self-promotion- Shelter of the Monument is now available on all the main online channels! You can find them here-Shelter of the Monument.) Second, I had a goal weight I was going to reach. That resolution is not done at all but at least I haven’t gained. And there’s still six weeks left. It could happen. Especially since holiday calories don’t add up. And third, I wanted to revisit something that had been lost. I wanted to become more comfortable ..read more

The Second “S” in Ass Stands for Sclerosis

The MS humor blog where I bare my soul and some bottoms too The second “s” in ass stands for multiple sclerosis.  There I said it.  Hear me out.  I’m not calling those of us with MS, asses. Nor am I saying that multiple sclerosis itself is an ass.  Ass is far too tame a word to describe MS.  What I AM saying is that in my MS brain I can easily equate the second “s” in the word ass to sclerosis.  As in, cognitive issues with MS make me feel like I constantly do things half-assed. See the connection? No? Then how about this- sclerosis is the second word of the dise ..read more

Plovers Keep Rolling Over

Yes this is an old post. But it IS one of my favorites and relevant as I went for a boat ride last week and was happy to see that about 1/3 of the beach has opened up for the public. If you need to know, that is 2/3 of a huge beach for a tiny bird and 1/3 of that same beach for huge humans. But we are getting closer. As an aside, how can you tell Cape Codders are spoiled? When they are on a boat, the captain slows down as he spots a fin, they all rush to the bow and are disappointed to see dolphins. I thought for sure I could finally get a human sighting note on the Sharktivity app. Yes, gr ..read more

What MS Awareness Month Taught Me

Knowledge is power or, at least, validation Stay tuned to the end to this blog for a really big announcement!   Alright, that’s it! Who do I sue? Where do I find a copyright infringement attorney? Because I’ve had enough. I’m definitely suing! Please allow me to explain. About six months into the pandemic I used this space to whine about Covid robbing me of one of my most prized skills. As a woman of few talents, I treasure each one. And this skill was also the most practical. It was my innate ability of knowing all the cleanliest and convenient public restrooms on various roadways. I w ..read more
